‘Certaine Sermons made by 


of Sed: for this mariage, this feat {vas begunne af the be⸗ 
ginnyng of the worlde, and ſhall endure te che ende of the

beginning of p wond, euer the atoll part refuſed to com. And 
fort appereth at this our tyme, boty little a a numbre comethz

there be but feweet thofe that tome. So pe heare that God

Saul: the bride ts the congregation. . 

Hobe what maner of meate twas prepared. at this greate 
feaſt: Foꝛ ve know itis commenly ſeene, that at a mariage 
fhe fprelk meate is prepared that can be gotten. Mhat was 
the chieleſt dyſh at this great banquet? what was the feat | 
dyhe⸗e Mary it was the bridegrome hymſelle:tor the father, 
the feat maker, prepared none sther maner of meate fo2 the 
gealtes but the body and blood of bis olene naturall ſonne. 
Aud thists the chiefet dyſhe at this banket: tobych truclp is 
ameruaplous thpng that the father cftereth his fenne fo be 
eaten. Cerilp Jthynke that no man bath bearde the lyke. 

And trewely there was neuer luche kynde of feallynges ag 
this is, where the father wyll baue bis fonne to be eaten, 
and his⸗blood to be dronke. 

We reade in a Foye, that a cerfapne man bad eaten bys 
ſonne, but tt twas Done vnwares: be knewe not that it was 
bis ſonne, elles no doubte he woulde not bane eater hym. 
The lowes this: here was a kynge named Ailpages, - 
whyche bad bearde by a Prꝛophecye, that one Cp2us ſhoulde 
bane the rule and dominion oner bis realme,after his depar⸗

therfore feught all the pays and meanes howe to gette the!

CERTAYN GODLY SERMONS... London: John Day, 1562. 
[bound with | 
27 SERMONS PREACHED BY... London: John Day, 1562. 


The S.T.C. treats these two items as one work, . 
entering them both under 27 SERMONS (S. P. C. 15276) « 
Although both were printed by Day in the same year 
they have separate titles, signatures and pagina- 
tion. Moreover, when found together they need not 
be bound in the order given by the S.T.C.: in 
addition to the present copy, the one used as the 
basis of University Microfilm #14997 has CERTAYN 
GODLY SERMONS bound before 27 SERMONS. In short, 
the two items included here are quite distinct, 
and the sequence in which they were bound was 
quite arbitrary. 


Together they constitute the most important | 
collection prior to 1571 of the works of this noted. 
English reformer. Latimer’ is perhaps best known 
today for his dying words, addressed to his fellow-_ 
martyr Ridley when the two of them were about to 
be burned at the stake: "Be of good comfort, 
Master Ridley," said Latimer; “we shall this day 
light such a candle, by God's grace, in England F 
as I trust shall never be put out." & 


~ 


The present copy gains slight added interest = 
as having belonged to James Boswell Jr., the E 
Shakespeare editor and son of Johnson's biographer. » 
According to Lowndes, this copy was item 1308 at 
the sale of Boswell's library in May 1825; its 
subsequent provenance has not been traced. 


Title-page of first item neatly repaired; final 
leaf of secon item supplied in ms.
